Animal keepers one week, builders the next. Fortunately, Reptile Park keepers Obi, Jason and Chris all have carpentry backgrounds – both Chris and Jason being licenced tradesmen. Tye is a boilermaker (welder) by trade, and Bob has a background in plumbing.
Although some of the guys are alternating weeks between camping out at Devil Ark and returning to civilized accommodation and ARP, a full compliment of six ‘ARP boys’ has been steadily getting through the construction of a food prep room, food storage room, a veterinary care/quarantine facility and a post-mortem facility. This proved necessary due to the difficulty in finding other builders prepared to shift up to the site for the designated period.
